Improving blood flow in stroke patients with large vessel occlusion
Extending the Ischemic Penumbra in Large Vessel Occlusion Stroke
['FUNDING_OTHER'] · SHEARIT, LLC · NIH-10820012
This study is looking at a new way to help people who have had a serious type of stroke by using a special treatment called Lamiflo™ that improves blood flow, and it's for patients who might be eligible based on their imaging results.

What this research studies
This research investigates a new treatment approach for patients experiencing large vessel occlusion acute ischemic stroke. It focuses on using a unique polymer, Lamiflo™, which enhances blood flow dynamics without relying on traditional pharmacological methods. By qualifying patients through imaging, the study aims to identify those who could benefit from this innovative treatment, potentially increasing the number of patients eligible for effective intervention. The goal is to protect brain tissue and improve outcomes for stroke patients.
Who could benefit from this research
Good fit: Ideal candidates for this research are patients experiencing large vessel occlusion acute ischemic stroke who meet specific imaging criteria.
Not a fit: Patients who do not have large vessel occlusion or those who do not meet the imaging criteria may not benefit from this research.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this research could significantly improve recovery outcomes for stroke patients by enhancing blood flow to affected brain areas.
How similar studies have performed: While traditional neuroprotection trials have faced challenges, this novel approach using Lamiflo™ represents a new direction that has not been extensively tested in clinical settings.
